What the master set is made of
| Part | Cards | Where to get them |
|---|---|---|
| The numbered setMega Lucario Z ex was shown at Worlds in English numbered 058/080. Japan's Aura Seeker main set is 78 cards, so the English list seems to add about two cards. Neither total is official.From packs and singles | ~80English Worlds cards read /080 | Packs and singles |
| Secret raresOnly one secret rare has been revealed: a Crasher Wake card drawn by Tetsuo Hara, numbered 113/078 in Japan. So Japan has at least 35 secret rares. The English count follows when Aura Seeker's full list is out.From packs and singles | 35+Japan's first one is 113/078 | Packs and singles |
| Reverse holosPerfect Order, Chaos Rising and Pitch Black each had one reverse holo per eligible card and no ball patterns. Flowing Fists may follow them, but nothing has been announced.From packs | TBApattern not announced | Packs |
| The Mega Z ex cardsMega Lucario Z ex, Mega Garchomp Z ex and Mega Absol Z ex are in Aura Seeker, and only Mega Lucario Z ex has been shown in English. They are expected in Flowing Fists because the set copies Aura Seeker.From packs and singles | 3in the Japanese set | Packs and singles |
Is there a gold Mega Lucario Z ex? Pitch Black ended with a gold Mega Darkrai ex at 120/084 and Delta Reign with a gold Mega Rayquaza ex at 141/103, and a gold card is the hardest pull in a set. Nothing like that has been shown for Flowing Fists. Japan's full Aura Seeker list on November 27 will answer it.
The subsets
Secret rares expected from Aura Seeker
Japanese illustration rares, Special Art Rares and any gold Mega card not yet shown in English. Expected in Flowing Fists because the set is built from Aura Seeker, but English names, numbers and rarities are not confirmed. The only one revealed so far is the Crasher Wake card by Tetsuo Hara, 113/078 in Japan.
About this set
- The first Mega Z cards
- Mega Lucario Z ex, Mega Garchomp Z ex and Mega Absol Z ex come from the Mega Dimension downloadable content for Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Flowing Fists is the first set to print a Mega Z card.
- Tetsuo Hara draws a Supporter
- The first secret rare revealed is a Crasher Wake card by Tetsuo Hara, the artist of Fist of the North Star, which suits a set built around fighting.
- A nod to Furious Fists
- The name points back to XY Furious Fists from 2014, the set led by M Lucario-EX. Mega Lucario leads this one too, more than twelve years later.
What collectors make of it
Before you buy
- The name and the February 5 date come from a PokeBeach report on October 20, 2026. The Pokemon Company International has not announced the set, so the date can still move.
- Japanese Aura Seeker cards are not part of an English master set. The English cards shown at Worlds are numbered out of 80 against Japan's 78, so even matching cards carry different numbers.
- Fan-made Flowing Fists logos and set symbols are circulating. Pokemon has not published official ones yet.
Storage and protection
A set this size fits in one binder. Around 80 main set cards, their reverse holos and at least 35 secret rares come to roughly 180 to 200 cards. A 9-pocket binder that holds 360 cards covers it with plenty of space for the secret rares nobody has numbered yet.
| What | Price | Buy |
|---|---|---|
| Premium bindersDragon Shield Codex: archival pages, side-loading pockets, acid-free. Nine-pocket for layouts that mirror your checklist, twelve-pocket if the master set runs long. | $30-50 | 9-pocket12-pocket |
| Perfect-fit sleevesEvery card deserves one, including the bulk. Perfect fits prevent the micro-scratches that come from sliding cards in and out of binder pockets. | $30-50 | 100 pack |
| Top loadersRigid, acid-free protection for the cards you plan to hold long term rather than page in a binder. | $15-25 | 25 pack |

The main set looks like 80 cards, from the English Mega Lucario Z ex shown at Worlds at 058/080. The secret rares have not been counted: in Japan the first one revealed is numbered 113/078, so expect at least 35 on top. Neither the English nor the Japanese total including secret rares has been published.
